Presenting new research projects at the Department of informatics (Ifi), time has come for MIRACLE. The project is headed by Intermedia and conducted in collaboration with the DESIGN group at Ifi.  Ingeborg Krange at Intermedia is project leader.

MIRACLE – Mixed Reality Interactions across Contexts of Learning

The main driving forces behind the development of 3D interactive web solution and mixed realities we find within the electronic entertainment industry (games and movies).  In this project the researchers are investigating the use of 3D interactive web solutions in mixed reality settings for learning in schools and museums. A pedagogical approach is necessary to understand the foundation on how such technologies can support structures guiding students, teachers, and museum curators in activities that lead to productive learning and instruction across sites. MIRACLE will deliver models of learning spaces and experiences that ties together the school, the web and the museum.

The selected case is an energy resource mission that involves a variety of activities across sciences, technologies and contexts of learning relevant throughout the students learning trajectories.  Project partners outside the University of Oslo are the Norwegian Science and Technology Museum, Storm Studio and CoDesign.
